Great job. 99.9% of people have never seen anything like that. It’s interesting to watch your transparent cover videos. Hopefully things settle down y’all’s way. God bless
Working at an auto parts store, I heard that the bypass valve is for if the filter gets too clogged and blocks too much flow. In that case, unfiltered oil is better than no oil, so the valve will make the oil skip the filter element and go straight back into the engine.
Oil can flow up to 50 to 80 psi now you picture water hose shoots 65 PSI now picture of water hose at 80 psi that water would shoot 15-20 ft out of the hose. So yes oil is under high pressure and it is moving fast to get in the valleys and veins of the engines.
Damn you've never turned on a car after you forgot to put an oil filter on or lost a drain plug on the highway - Free undercoating! The engine is highly pressurized, it'll shoot out oil in no time.
@@cliffcorbitt9494 Engines are so amazing and the many veins and passage ways oil flows through to keep the engine lubricated properly is so fascinating. Long Live the internal combustion engine
I did a dumb thing with my Tacoma when changing the oil and filter. I didn’t want to take the rock guard off the bottom of the truck and the filter is hidden under the alternator so t found a filter wrench that fit it and was trying to loosen it and I did get it loose but didn’t realize it and I said heck with it I’ll drive up on my ramps so I reached in and started the truck and turned around to get the ramps and then looked to see a sea of oil under my truck. I shut it off quick and checked the oil and there was a little over a quart left. No harm done but I found out just how much oil goes through the filter and let me tell you it’s all of it and fast. So it’s good to change them and make sure they are on correct.
Over time, you can slowly create almost every part of the engine by making it transparent, thus trying to make a fully functional and transparent engine.Good luck in everything you do! As many beautiful projects as possible! Keep it up!
I always wondered how that little spring inside the filters worked and this showed it perfectly. You could see the spring push out against that plastic housing with increases in pressure. Brilliant!
Windshield sealant is an interesting choice. I’ve found that omitting the primer greatly reduces the adhesion of the sealant. Once cured, the sealant generally pulls off cleanly without it, especially with plastics. I’ve experienced that with helicopter windshields. It’s interesting how it differs from automotive applications on glass vs the plexiglass on the helicopter. There was also a noticeable difference with sealant procured locally compared with sealant we received from France. Technique is important also. If air bubbles are introduced into the sealant, it looses strength. A filter housing machined from a billet of plastic would probably last longer, but the forming machine is an interesting process. Great video 👍😎
This video is real practical Engineering Masterpiece to analyze oil filter, by looking at the Transparent oil filter when it is working, I think no one had thought about it or if there is then I also don't think that anyone else would probably want to build it just before this video coming out, well nice job Mr Vlads' and team's Keep it Up 👍
Very interesting! Thank you for doing this. Very well done sir! I've always wondered what was going on inside the filter. Way more flow than I imagined.
The bypass valve is their to let oil flow through if the filter element gets blocked. The bypass valve allows oil to flow through even if it is unfiltered as its a better choice than starving the engine of oil. Looking at the service manual for the car, it will tell you specs about the oil pump and how much oil it will pump at a given RPM.
Well the transparent filter housing makes sense. Some cars have a housing and filament arrangement where the housing is just an injection moulded plastic piece, and I've seen clear housings used in water filtration systems in the past and thought "that's a great idea, as you can visually inspect the condition of the filter without removing it 1st" and in an automotive situation you would be able to immediately see the state of prime on the lubrication system, and how black the oil is
A lot of oil filters can be had in a longer version. It would have to be matched up rather than part numbers. Oil filters for small block Chevys are easily had in long versions, if there is room to fit there is more filter area for same price. A long clear one would be easier to see. Great Video!
@@robertheinkel6225 It does though. Lawnmower engines are nowhere near as well built and well protected as car engines. The result is that oil gets much more contamination in it with a mower engine compared to a car engine. :) More contaminants, means a bigger filter is needed to last the duration of the oil change interval. A larger filter also increases overall engine oil capacity. A lawnmower usually uses a carb until you get into some realllllly expensive products. Carbs dilute the oil with unburned fuel that condenses and drips into the sump. Therefore, more oil volume minimizes the effect of gasoline dilution over the oil change interval. Usually you can't easily make a crankcase bigger arbitrarily, but you can remotely locate the oil filter mounting plate and upsize the filter very easily. :)
When ever I change my oil, I always fill the filter to soak the media inside before I put it on. I keep filling it till it absorbs no more. That was pretty cool seeing this.
@@stuartburton1167 The oil that I fill the filter with is the oil out of the jug that I’m pouring into my engine. One can either pre-fill the filter or not.
@@jeffs7573 the filter and engine manufacturers recommend fitting without filling with oil first. I reckon they know what they are doing plus about half of all filters I have come across are mounted horizontal so you can't prefill
@@stuartburton1167 I see you have no mechanical experience except for your own vehicle. Filling or not filling a vertical mounted oil filter is up to the individual doing the oil change. My uncle with over 40 years of being a certified mechanic says it is best to pre-fill the filter to insure the oil doesn’t rupture the filter media, however he says it’s up to the person if they want to or not. I’m gonna go with the guy who knows from over 49 years experience.
@@jeffs7573 I do not understand why it's essential to pre fill a vertical oil filter to prevent oil pressure rupturing it yet a horizontal (or in one make of Italian diesel engine vertical but pointed downwards) cannot be prefilled but doesn't rupture as soon as the engine runs
got to keep that oil flowing, you should just make a whole transparent Lada, you could take it to schools and let the students see what a functioning engine looks like
@@jwalster9412 I was thinking more of a engine that could be cranked and show all of the movements for demonstration, it'd be one hell of a challenge to make plastic cylinders that could hold up enough to maintain compression for more then a few seconds
What a lot of people don't realize is oil's lubrication is its secondary feature. Its primary one is to keep the moving parts of the engine cool. In other words, an engine can survive a lack of lubrication much longer than it can a lack of cooling of its internal parts which, when overheated, lockup and can break. You can actually replace engine oil with water and run the engine for an extended period of time so long as you keep adding water (as the heat tends to boil it off). Yes, the engine will suffer from accelerated wear so don't do this to an engine you care about, but it will run with water in place of oil. That is why so much oil is circulating so quickly through the engine. It must carry a lot of heat quickly back down into the oil pan where it can dissipate. Some engines even have oil coolers to aid in this.
The bypass valve in the filter is not to prevent rupturing (that is the task of the pressure relief in the oil pump assembly), but to allow at least some lubrication when the filter gets clogged. Of course, it means the oil won't get filtered anymore, but that still means less damage than no lubrication at all.
Hello G54, I was lucky to catch the transparent oil filter, I always wondered just how quickly the oil circulated through it which i could see very well. I am thinking maybe a transparent intake manifold would be quite interesting to me. Good luck and Thanks for the Awesome videos.
You should try clamps, or zip-ties to hold the transparent housing to the base of the filter. It seemed they were able to withstand the pressure, but the windshield glue alone sheared. I think the extra pressure from a clamp would help the glue.
Everybody speaks/understands car language in sound effects. When vlad makes car sounds, i know what he's saying. Also this was awesome, great video. If it's possible, a transparent carburetor would be amazing to see.
the valve in the filter is for if it gets clogged so that you still get oil to the rest of the engine because unfiltered oil is still better than no oil
Nakachanyje Kaliosa yt channel was once making micro switch on oil filter connected to oil bypass valve. Bypass valve remains open even on fresh oil as long as oil is thick and cold and it closes , sending oil through filtration cartridge once engine is near to operating temperature. It takes longer with the distance and with dirt in oil filter to the point where oil engine flows all the time through open bypass without filtering if you have very dirty oil and filter without changing it for long time/long distance. Great and interesting content as usual. Great job guys. Thank you

This is genius why hasn’t other companies tried to make it? It would be easy to see how much dirt is on the filter or if you have a serious engine failure.
Steel is much more impact resistant in case it gets hit with a stone, or gets ran into a curb or something. Steel will dent or scratch, plastic will likely shatter or crack.
You can buy clear view oil filter oil filters with glass windows above the screen. They're pretty much only used on dedicated race cars because of the price and reduced filtering capability
We all know some old oil remains from an oil change. I did a test on a 1992 pontiac bonneville. I drained oil in a pan for 10 minutes. I swapped a empty drain pan, let it sit all night I got over a half quart more the next day So now I always do oil changes on friday after work, and allow to drain all night and fill oil saturday my rule of thumb on oil changes is 30 seconds between drips from drain hole

@@jwalster9412
I’ve seen half of a block clear. Back in the 80’s-90’s we had one in auto shop class. Had an old handle crank you could turn.

True.
I heard that some of the cheapest filters do not have bypass valve.
I believe all the filters have the bypass valve.
@@zijie-he sadly no

For the next episode “We make a transparent engine block”
Don't tempt them
I bet they would
Dare them to try a transparent exhaust manifold 🤪
They've down it.
You guys never fail In making really good quality content for us RUclipsrs to watch, Real honest channel. Keep up with the great content. 🤟🏼🤟🏼
It would be cool to see a transparent transmission pan on a automatic
You probably wouldn't see too much because of the valvebody

I have never seen exactly how the oil flows through a filter. It was great to see you guys sacrifice new filters to try this. Great work.
One of the top channels on RUclips for the Automotive community and it's even being translated. Good stuff guys! This was an awesome watch.
